Mountain time

Mountain time

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

The mountains, of course. It’s no contest, really. Why would I choose a polluted stretch of sand infested with half-naked humans over solitude, fresh air, clear vistas, and the majesty of a giant immovable rock?

And unlike Joe Bonamassa, I may not have a girl waiting for me there, but I don’t mind.

West on 80 and it won’t take too long,
‘Til the road starts climbing up to mountain time.
The girl I know there, she lives free and easy,
And she shows me wonders and she takes my mind.
Be like you baby,
I wanna be there
To settle on up about my life
And that girl is waiting, but she won’t wait too long,
Drove all night to that clear blue sky.
And she’s wild as eagles,
She’s as sweet as honeysuckle,
Her life’s flowing like a mountain stream…

    It’s mountains all day long for me too Lenny, though I do love a stormy ocean!

      The ocean is less than 15 minutes away by car. I can even see it from certain points in the suburb I live in, but I rarely go there. I prefer to drive inland to the countryside. 😏

Lenny, here

Join me as I contemplate a bewildering world through empathy, understanding, and a touch of irreverence.
